The Dancer's Sidekick

Hello and welcome to Episode 9 of The Dancer's Sidekick, a podcast for smart dancers. I'm Kimberley, your dance sidekick, mentor & virtual dance bestie. I'm here to give guidance, support and advice, as you navigate the world of dance.

In today's episode, I'm diving into a topic I've long thought about. Definitely in my dance days, it was talked about in a rather concerning way. I'm going to attempt to tackle the topic of bodies. Is there such a thing as a ballet body in 2019? Remember, this show is about total transparency. I want to open up the conversation - especially when it comes to topics like these. It's important we talk about it! The more we talk about it, the more we can question the status quo and help to make positive changes in the industry.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last month, you'd be well aware that we've hit Nutcracker season! And we all know what that means.... we're counting down the days to the Holiday break! A lil fun fact - if you couldn't tell already by the accent, I'm an Aussie. I live in Canada now but for my Australian & New Zealand dancers, Holiday break means a big 6 week Summer break over Christmas & New Year. My Northern Hemisphere dancers only get a couple of weeks to celebrate the season, and then it's back to the studio!

No matter where you live and train, the Christmas/New Year break is a time for celebration, relaxation and reflection.

For today's episode, I'm sharing my top tips for the season. How to enjoy the break while staying focused and fit.

In today's episode, I'm talking all things ballet and age. Is there such a thing as being too old to start ballet? What if you're a late starter who dreams of a professional performance career? Is it possible or should you just give up now?! Don't do that. But listen on as I discuss all of the things.

For the second episode, I wanted to share the content from my most popular YouTube video - how to know when you're ready for pointe.

I've been blown away by the response of this topic in particular. Over 40,000 people have viewed this video about starting pointe and I've received hundreds of comments and questions about pointe shoes and how it all works. There's a lot of concern out there and I want to do whatever I can to help make things easier for you! So with all that said, let's dive into it.
